Stepping into the shoes of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May is easily one of television’s most daunting gigs. Yet, despite an initial passing-of-the-torch meeting with Clarkson, Prime Video’s The Grand Tour Season 7 quickly proves it isn’t interested in simply doing a tired karaoke cover of the past.
Instead, new hosts James Engelsman, Thomas Holland, and Francis Bourgeois bring a completely fresh, modern flavour to the franchise. Engelsman and Holland carry over the razor-sharp, natural banter that made them YouTube favourites, while Bourgeois acts as the brilliant, endearing wild card—bringing a wide-eyed, infectious enthusiasm that breathes new life into the high-budget road trip format.
It’s fast-paced, genuinely funny, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Rather than feeling like a desperate reboot, it plays like a fun, high-octane evolution of a beloved show.
